I just recently installed 12.04 LTS on my machine. It's dual boot with Windows 7 on the other side.While on Windows I have a solid connection with full bars all day long. However, on the Ubuntu side, I have 3 out of 4 bars, and the connection is constantly dropping.It only disconnects for a second or two, but in doing so, it disconnects my VPN. So I have to monitor my wifi icon.

So I downloaded latest driver from Realtek website, copied to desktop, and extracted it.
In terminal i runsudo apt-get install gcc build-essential linux-headers-generic linux-headers-$(uname -r)
for necessary dependencies. I then entercd ~/Desktop/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_linux_mac80211_0012.0207.2013makemake install

At this point I get a long scroll with a few mentions of error1 and error 2. I try to reboot the computer withsudo modprobe -v rtl8188ee
but it says it cannot be found. So I manually reboot, and nothing changes under "Additional Drivers" scan.
So I can't tell if I'm not installing correctly, or if there is something else going on.

in the terminal:
Ok. After following the steps in the answer provided by Chili555 below, I believe everything went smoothly. It's worth stating that after entering the

sudo modprobe rtl8192ce

command, nothing happened. So I rebooted manually. I now have all bars lit up in my wifi icon (as opposed to before, when I only had 3)

Chili555 put up a text file in the comment section below that shows what it should look like when entering the 4 lines of code in gedit. That was very helpful. Also, be mindful of where your directory is when entering a command in terminal for cleaning up download. I specified "desktop" because that's where my extracted zip was located.

EDIT: THE NEXT DAY, Well after spending the evening on Ubuntu, I found that I am still in the same boat as before. I still have not been able to fix this issue of intermittent disconnects.

I copied and pasted the first command you have, and hit enter. I get " No rule to make target 'clean'. Stop" What am I missing? Am I misunderstanding how to enter it in command terminal? Thanks

Are you in the correct directory? ~/rtl_92ce_92se_92de_8723ae_88ee_linux_mac80211_0012.0207.2013 If you list the contents of the directory, do you see the Makefile?: ls

Ok, I just edited my question. You're right, I had to not just copy and paste, but specify desktop. Am I on the right track?

One last thing, sorry, but I entered the code in pci.h. Just want to make sure I am entering in the right spot, as well as should I delete the 2 pieces of line that was there before? Could you have a peak at my edit? Thanks again

Have you gone to the link I posted above "ubuntu forums.org" thread. The link is in the second post by Verunda. Then click on the download link that is closest to your region.

At this point you're going to have to start a NEW question. Click on " Ask Question" button in the top/right. I'll try to help you from there. But we can't use the comment section here for troubleshooting ( forum rules)
